ಕರ್ಜುರ ರೋಲ್ಸ್/CoconutDates(Tumr Bel Nargine)

This is very simple dessert and one of the popular snacks with a hot cup of tea from Saudi Arabia. It is one of the common desserts. Dates are sugary yet not very sweet. I had two boxes of Dates lying in the fridge for almost more than a month. This dessert just came as a good choice for a tasty dessert. The taste of the Dates with coconut was fabulous.

This is my entry for Meeta’s Monthly Mingle inspired by Sia and Asha thanks to both of them 🙂
